How do we ensure that the huge mistakes people made leading up to the 2007 housing and banking crisis don’t happen again? Former FDIC Chairman Sheila Bair joins us in the basement to discuss banking, mortgages, the crisis and her new book that brings it home for high school and college age students (and financial geeks like me!).
Josh Dorkin, founder of the awesome real estate community BiggerPockets (and host of the BiggerPockets podcast) sits in the co-pilot seat this week. We discuss landscaping, job searches, diversifying your portfolio and more.
Show notes with links coming in the morning! (I was traveling all day Tuesday…..check back before noon!)
Thanks to MagnifyMoney.com and SoFi for sponsoring our podcast!
